Grade 1 winner Bleecker Street has been retired, and she will be bred to perennial leading sire Into Mischief in 2023, Daily Racing Form reports.
The 5-year-old daughter of Quality Road had been preparing for her seasonal bow at Payson Park in Florida, but trainer Chad Brown told DRF that she was retired when it became clear that the injury that sidelined her in the summer of 2022 would prevent her from running a full campaign this year.
Brown trained Bleecker Street for owner Peter Brant, winning seven of eight starts for earnings of $894,700. She went unbeaten in her first seven career starts, culminating with a victory in the G1 New York Stakes at Belmont Park.
Into Mischief stands at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., for an advertised fee of $250,000.
He capped off his fourth consecutive season as North America's leading general sire by earnings in 2022. His combined progeny earnings of $28,106,800 eclipsed the single-season record he set a year earlier, when he hit $24,411,267.
